HI
Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.
Skin lesions over genitalia following unprotected sex , first thing to be suspected is Sexually transmitted disease(STD). I am not telling that what you are having is STD but the first thing that should be ruled out is STD.
There are other skin diseases that are not sexually transmitted , that can affect foreskin . But to differentiate between STD and these diseases a personal examination has to be done.
Either consult your doctor or kindly upload the picture of the lesions so that I can advise you better.
Hope this information is useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.

Hi,
From symptoms it seems of having fungal infection.
It is safe to rule out any STD as there is h/o unprotected sex in the past.
Apply anti-fungal cream locally for some time.
Keep local hygiene proper.
Ok and take care.
